Hi Guys,got a day off tomorrow so after much nagging from the missus gonna have a go putting up a triax 78cm TD dish with a 4 way monoblock and taking down my existing 4 dishes.Looking to try and get 28,19,16,13 and as the weather forecast is for rain,rain and more rain(typical on me day off!!) looking to get it done as quick as poss.Has anyone put 1 of these up and if so any tips or pointers and are they any good???
Cheers

never heard of a 4 way monoblock , I suspect you mean the 4 way triax multi lnb holder ?

i think you might need to align to 16E and shave this LNB a little to get the 13 and 19 LNB's next to it 3 degrees is very fine, hope you have the triax thin lnb's also, otherwise, don't bother

I have one on 5e , 13e , 19e and 28.2e and its lined up somewhere around hotbird or astra I think

anyway , as mentioned above its almost impossible to get 16e due to the closeness of 13e and 19e and without the little narrow lnb,s you wont manage it at all imho

so if you left it out and kept the 16e dish up use that instead , with the other three on the triax

I also have a Triax 4 lnb holder on a 1.1 metre dish(Triax) for the moment I have 3 lnb up(28,19,and 13deg east) I am thinking to add 1deg west....Possible?? Prime focus is on Astra 1.
Thank you.

I have TD110 dish and multi LNB holder. I get 13E, 16E, 19E and 28E. For the birds 13, 16 and 19, all three LNB's are touching each other (narrower Inverto Silverline), so with a smaller dish, they'd need to be even closer together!
